Internet Protocol
This section has three options: No IP Address, Obtain an IP Address
Automatically, and Use the Following IP Address.
No IP Address Select this option if the connection will have no
IP
address. This is
useful if the connection operates under a bridge.
Obtain an IP Address Automatically Select this option if the network connection
is required by the
ISP
to obtain an
IP
address automatically. The server assigning
the
IP
address also assigns a subnet mask address, which can be overridden by
entering another subnet mask address.
Use the Following IP Address Select this option if the network connection uses a
permanent (static)
IP
address, then the
IP
address and subnet mask address.
Bridge
The “Bridge” section of the Configure Network (Home/Office) screen is used to
specify which networks can join the network bridge. Verizon does not support
using the Router in Bridge mode. Using Bridge mode may cause problems with
the Router, including the complete disabling of all video services used with
the Router.
Status The “Status” column displays the connection status of a particular device.
STP Click in the device’s “
STP
” check box to enable Spanning Tree Protocol on
the device. This protocol provides path redundancy while preventing undesir-
able loops in the network.
Action The “Action” column contains an icon that, when clicked, generates the
configuration screen of the particular device.
